Adverse reactions
Occasionally a slight local reaction of a transient nature has been observed. Tetracyclines have very rarely been associated with photosensitivity reactions, hepatotoxicity and blood dyscrasias.
Oxytetracycline given to young animals can cause a yellow, brown or grey discolouration of bones and teeth. High dose or chronic administration may delay bone growth or healing.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
